Manningtree
Manningtree is a community and civil parish in the Tendring area of Essex, England, which rests on the River Stour. It joins built-up areas of Lawford to the west and also Mistley to the east and the three parishes together are occasionally referred to as "Manningtree". Manningtree is a claimant for the title of smallest community in England. Manningtree has actually generally claimed to be the smallest town in England, as well as in 2007 mayor Lee Lay-Flurrie stated that this had been validated to her by the Census Customer Services, with 700 individuals in 20 hectares (using the high tide mark). However both this figure and the 2011 census population for the civil parish of 900 is a lot higher than the 351 population of Fordwich in Kent. In April 2009 it was proposed that Manningtree should merge with Mistley and Lawford to develop a solitary parish, shedding its different identity as a town. As of 2018 such a merger has not taken place and also the town council currently claims to be the tiniest by area. Manningtree becomes part of the selecting ward called Manningtree, Mistley, Litte Bentley and Tendring. The population of this ward at the 2011 census was 4,603.
